Quick answer
Can Botox help sagging skin?
Botox cannot tighten loose skin directly, but it can give a mild lifting effect. Small doses of botulinum toxin in the platysma(neck) and depressor muscles at the mouth corners reduce their downward pull, so the jawline looks sharper and the corners of the mouth sit a little higher.
This approach is sometimes called a Nefertiti lift or lifting micro-Botox. For true laxity, it works best alongside a collagen-building lift such as Ultherapy or RF tightening.

FAQ
Lifting Botox questions
Is this the Nefertiti lift?
Yes, Botox for the jawline and neck bands is often called a Nefertiti lift, named after the defined neck and jaw of the Egyptian queen.
How much lift can I expect?
The effect is subtle — a crisper jaw and softer neck bands rather than a facelift. It suits early sagging.
Can it be combined with HIFU or thread lifts?
Yes. Botox reduces downward pull while HIFU, RF or threads add support and tightening, so they complement each other.
Are there risks to swallowing?
Rarely, if doses are too high in the neck. Conservative dosing and careful placement minimise this.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
